In my own personal opinion, I believe that Brian Calley is a very decent and honorable person and has conducted himself in a professional manner throughout his current tenure as our Lieutenant Governor. He has stated that his job is to support Governor Snyder and that his job is to preside over the Michigan State Senate and vote in the event of a tie. I see no reason why he should be booted off the ticket in next year's election.

He has stated time and again his values and his beliefs to the people of Michigan and has made it clear that he has a voice in Governor Snyder's Administration but when it comes time to make an important decision on State affairs, the Governor has the final say.

He has given great advice and counsel to the Governor during his tenure as Lieutenant Governor and, in my opinion, is a very likable and admirable person and we ought to be proud of what he's done for us. He upholds and fulfills his constitutional duties to the best of his ability everyday because he cares about the people of this State. He advocates for autism, a cause that affects me personally, but that does not influence my respect and admiration for him.

I believe in freedom of opinion and there may be people who disagree with me on my thoughts of Mr. Calley and I respect their opinions, I just wanted a chance to make public my opinion about him.
